This painting shows a group of village women taking a break in the middle of their daily chores. Amrita Sher-Gil did this painting in 1939 soon after her final return from Hungary and a year after her earlier painting titled Resting showing a sleeping woman. The figures in this painting belong to a transitory phase where they have yielded their monumental or corporeal quality.
